Love is a basic
Human need
But the concept
Of which is something
Few people truly
Can say they grasp
Respect is earned
And is not only
Something
That the world
Is greatly lacking
But is something
Far too few
Can honestly
Say they have had
Truth and honesty
Go hand in hand
But again is something
Far too many
Still wish more of
They did have
Love, respect,
Truth, and honesty
4 basic needs
Of you and of me
And if you ask me
If we as a society
Gave more attention
To those needs
Then maybe
Just maybe
We may as a society
Find some sense of peace
